It should be a ADZ or ADY....

Nice, I'll have to check that when the tranny is out of the 200.

Yup, I saw that... I hope it's okay... I also noticed a difference in PNs
on the front diff driveshaft flanges, someting like 100 (mm) and 108 for
the 20v... hopefully the flanges are swappable as well, if not I'll use the
200's beefier inner CV joints.

Huh! Me and a Tor$sen? Never :-)))) I just love the locker and I don't want
to use a Tor$sen...

Yup, I know that, this is why I'll move on to 16" rims with the
corresponding tire size and I'll swap the 200's speedo assembly in the
coupe to have everything right.

Naaah, I'll do this swap when I swap the 3B into the coupe quattro... I
just wanted to have some taller gears, not especially for top speed (hey,
wanna go for a drive at 270km/h on the autobahn when I'm done with the
conversion? :-) ) but more for lower engine RPMs at cruising speeds... for
the moment I get 3500 RPMs at 120 km/h which is too high... I'd rather have
something like 3000 which is better for the noise level (not that I care of
a 5-banger's noise level!) and fuel consumption.

Thanks a lot indeed,
